THE SKY-LARK'S SONG. 



Alauda Arvensis.-^'Li^^JBMS, 



" From the green waving corn, 

 The Lark spreads his wings, 

 And hails as he sings 

 The fresh glow of the morn." 



To BIN. 



He who'd live a happy life, 



Let him live as we ; 

 We defy both care and strife — 



Are from sorrow free. 



We with early dawn arise. 



Health awaits our way ; 

 Up we mount the radiant skies 



To greet the king of day. 



Mirth with sparkling eye and Glee, 



Listen while we sing ; 

 Pleasure, too, and Gaiety, 



Welcome now the spring. 



Love too listens to our song ; 



Exquisite delight! 

 Zephyrs bear the notes along, 



O'er yon meadows bright.
